I want to update name and keywords of my app. That data can be changed in iTunes Connect only. Maybe I will update screenshots or some other data from iTunes Connect.
But should I post new app build? I see the form of new build but is that necessary?
#sffsf some of fields can be edited any time without submitting new build. However in your case even editing description or changing images needs to add new build and go through approval process again.
Please see below link last section describes the update process in detail ( read *fields which can be updated without submitting new build )

I have submitted my app for review and I am trying to modify some of the already uploaded screenshots in my app, however, I do not see an option to remove nor add new images:
Existing answers say I should see a button named "Choose file", but as you can see it is not available.
I have tried going to the TestFlight build to see if options open up, but nothing is there. The app Ready for Sale app shows the same view as in the image above.
I do not have access to the old screenshots and only want to to update some, so using my fastlane script does not work because it would remove screenshots I'd like to keep.
Any idea how to upload screenshots from the App Store Connect UI?
I am trying to change the screenshot of app published in itunes without creating new version of it?
When i log in to itunes and see my app meta data, I am not able to find edit option for screenshots.
I am new to mobile app as the current app was done by another developer.
Mine is web app not native mobile app.
If I create new version does it make users to log in again?
Should i upload the build again for the project?
I would like to know the impact of creating a new version like how long does it take to see the new screenshots.
You can't change screenshots of a live app, you need to create a new version. (https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/LanguagesUtilities/Conceptual/iTunesConnect_Guide/Chapters/ReplacingYourAppWithANewVersion.html)
Officially web apps are not allowed on the store. Make sure your new version adheres to the store rules, specifically 4.2.
(https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelines/#minimum-functionality)
If you replace an existing (native) app with a new web app, I'm 100% sure that users need to log in again.
Yes, you need to create a new version / build and upload it to iTunes Connect. Then you can upload new screenshots as well. After that, you can send the app to review, which usually takes 1-2 days.
I have an app in the iOS app store. Let’s call it “App1”.
I am changing the app a lot and would like to call it “App2” in the new update.
I will not be submitting a brand new app, just updating the current one.
Can I create a dummy “App2” to hold the name and then switch “App1” to “App2” when ready (much like reserving a Twitter or Instagram handle?)
You should be able to simply create a new update in iTunes Connect and rename the application. The rename will only go into effect when your update is released.
Try these steps.
Go to itunesconnect
Revise your app1 from version 1.0 to 2.0
Change app name to App2. If the name was already in use in app store you will get an error message otherwise you will hold the app name and no one will be able to use it.
Launch your prjoect in Xcode.
Look for plist file
Add the following to it "Bundle display name" and its value should be "App2"
Package / Archive and submit
Throw a party afterwards
I have an app in the app store, and I want to release a major update to it. However, I want to re write the application from scratch and then submit it. Am I allowed to create a new Xcode project for the update? What kind of things must stay the same in order for them to accept it as a product update?
Yes, you can do whatever you want on the code side, as long as the Bundle ID (also named Bundle Identifier, and CFBundleIdentifier) stays the same. This identifier is set in the YourApp-info.plist file:
com.yourcompany.${PRODUCT_NAME:rfc1034identifier}
Here PRODUCT_NAME is a parameter that is defined in the Build Settings of your Xcode target; this is typically the name of your app.
Note that with any new release you can update the app icon, and even the display name of the app. But of course you don't want to change these too much, as users may not recognise it as the same app.
Good luck!
Yes, you can create a new project. Just inside the iTunes Connect app area, where you make the update versions, make sure that you create a new version, and inside your .plist file, make sure that you have the id as the other project.(the one that is usually com.companyName.etcName)
Hope that helps!
my App already on shelf App store. And now I want to upgrade it.
Before I upload new binary, may I first update the description in App store via iTunes connect ?
And will this updated description be shown in App store before I upload new binary?
I have changed the description but could not save because the old screen shot need to be changes its size.
But if I select " Cancel " button , instead of clicking " Save" , will my changed description be saved except the screenshot?
If my changed description is saved, then next time I only need to change the screenshot.
thanks
Metadata for a currently live version of an application can be edited after logging into itunes connect -> Manage Your applications -> Your Application -> Current Version -> Metadata & Uploads Edit. Here you can make changes to description..
A new version of the application can be added by clicking on Add version, Fill up the "Version No." & "What's new in this version?". After This Click on your New Version & Edit Metadata for this New Version of application, this metadata will be available on the app store along with new version, once approved.
I hope this answers your query.
